Greece is the land that gave birth to Hippocrates of Kos (Ἱπποκράτης ὁ Κῷος c. 460 – c. 370 BC). Doctors over the centuries inherited from the “Father of Medicine” the charter of medical conduct, the still today honored “Hippocratic Oath”. Here healthcare services and medicine meet modern expertise and Greek hospitality, creating a unique mixture that welcomes you and wishes you “γειά σου” (geiá sou), meaning have Good Health.
Greece being the crossroad between East and West, South and North, is the place where civilizations, religions and people with different cultures are welcomed and respected.
Into the Hellenic hospitals, the 4th Industrial Revolution -the era of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, Internet of Things and moreover the precision medicine- is already a reality.
